A little creative update — sharing my Jane Eyre inspired pattern, daily sketchbook practice, and a sneak peek at a new design with geese. It’s a mix of life drawing, color experiments, and pattern studies. I’ll be back with more next month!
December 2024
Here’s what I’ve been working on this past month! From hand-painted patterns to new sketches, I’ve been diving into the world of gouache and re-discovering the magic of traditional painting. This update includes a few behind-the-scenes looks at my process, some thoughts on working digitally vs. traditionally, and a sneak peek at new patterns inspired by fantasy. Enjoy, and I hope your year is off to a great start!"

Torn Between Color and Black Lines
As the days grow darker and shorter, I wanted to share the latest updates from my studio. I’ve made some progress on The Lady of the River and finished my small square sketchbook!
For this month’s illustration, I aimed to capture the bare-branched trees and the carpet of fallen, dried leaves. You can find it as wallpaper for your device here.

Ema Tudose October newsletter - sitting by the river in autumn.
Hello, my dear friend, this month I have re-read The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It is such a heartwarming and beautiful story, told with compassion, acceptance, and kindness. It inspired me to take a side road and start a small collection inspired by the story.
